The world bears on you, expectation, floundered. But with it awareness, have you learnt nothing? I have your age but not your regrets. Regret is the belief that you have no opportunity to correct your decisions, this is almost never correct

Looks very interesting, how does this compare to mixpanel? Is it event based? Can you compare segmented numeric values? This has been a big limitation in mixpanel for me, you can only really do comparisons between event counts, not any nume

I hadn't noticed that, it's pretty slick actually, if you keep pinching it also zooms out to show you all of the tabs you have open.

Given the amount of experience and equipment required for hardware projects perhaps there's room for a hardware incubator?

That may be so but this is the first article I've seen in the mainstream that painted him in such a positive light. Using nationalism is probably the fastest way to get a broad audience in America to support what he was making a stand for.

I really like it. I'd rather not see the previous page underneath though, the first page doesn't have this(only white space) and it seems far more natural.

If there's one thing I remember well it's relationships and behaviours(probably the same for most engineers). This is distinct from what I would call knowledge (i.e. when something happened). For me inspiration always seems to come from com

I was thinking there would be a discussion thread for each dispute.

by ollysb 14y ago
Perhaps it would be a good idea for disputes to be recorded with the wikipedia article i.e. in your case their would be a dispute registered in the foot notes over the birth date of Alicia Keys(with a link to the alternative put forward). T

I don't understand why infinite scroll implementations don't precalculate how long the page will be when all results have loaded. This would allow the scroll bar to actually indicate how far through the results you are(I'm thinking etsy not

The problem is they scale down just as quickly. Currently they're sold with valuations that speculate about the potential profits according to their level of engagement. In many cases they'll scale down before they ever deliver on the kinds

I'm struck by how much lower the valuation is than for the purely web based companies. Zip car has been operating for 12 years and looks like it will be operating for a long time to come. Even with facebook there's a question mark around wh

This is a question of taste really. Do you favour continuous improvement or stability? Personally I prefer the continuous refinement approach that rails takes. It's definitely not for everyone though.

When I'm starting out I find writing a cucumber scenario is a great way to focus on getting a useful feature done. It's the first thing I add to a project. The general setup is done as part of getting that first scenario to pass. After that

This really seems like something the market could decide. If there's a large group of people that want an alternative would the opportunity not be great enough for a new company to fulfill it? Who are the restricted bootloaders actually har

Yeah, I actually wrote some similar functions for java when I first started experimenting with ruby on the side. I agree it's a big improvement on for loops but there's still a lot of line noise; the anonymous class(as you mention) and havi

The difference is that HBO are still making a product that people want. It's the distribution channel that's in danger of dying out not the producer. As long as HBO are making shows people want to watch they'll be just fine.

Going from java to ruby these functions were the most obvious improvement for my day to day coding.

If you have a use case that doesn't fit into your basic CRUD why not just create a new REST resource for it? For instance in my current app we have an InstallsController. This creates a new installation of the plugin, updates the user's acc

The transition from cable to internet for TV consumption probably has a while to play out yet. I'm sure HBO are exploring many scenarios for the future.
